HOW TO PARTECIPATE

In YOCOCU 2018 all the different entities working in the field of cultural heritage – professionals, associations and institutions – are invited to take part in the establishment of a new line of communication where citizens are the main charters. In order to reach this aim, YOCOCU2018 involves special sessions and new ways to contribute to the conference:

A) Professionals, Conservators, researchers, archaeologists, and historians involved in the field of conservation and cultural heritage management

Contributions related to characterisation, diagnostic, conservation and restoration of cultural heritage are welcome. We encourage participants to explore different topics (e.g. contemporary art and industrial heritage) as well as present new products, case studies, educational projects and other activities.

If you also want to present a short paper or a contribution you can follow the instructions as stated in the Professional description.

E) Sponsors

In YOCOCU2018 the sponsors are actively involved in the conference and one of the session is dedicated to them. The sponsors can also take part to the scientific sessions by presenting their short paper as described in the relative session.
